I've Posted Them!!

This beautiful vibrant artwork is by Janelle, I love it! Can you see the bear?

I hope by now all artists in my group have found their postcard in their letterbox sent by me! I had a wonderful half an hour in my local post office (thank you Allenstown post office!!) on Monday choosing the 'right' stamp to place on each postcard...it was so much fun to find an image that suited my artwork and the theme or if not this then a colour that worked with the artwork on the postcard.


How are you all travelling along? Has anyone else returned all of their round one postcards?


I wanted to be organised with the postcards as next week I'll be enjoying some assemblage art with Keith Lo Bue at the long awaited "Wrapt in Rocky" Textile Forum. I'm looking forward to catching up with a few other "postcard collaborators" there, I think at least 6 of us will be in attendance...... I seem to have a lot of stuff to take to Keith's workshop, but there is still plenty in the studio...


I'm looking forward to receiving some more completed postcards back soon, as well as round two's postcards!


Keep on creating!!

    Peta, Is that "beautiful, colourful artwork by Janelle one of yours that she has altered? It's beautiful - I can't see any of the golden book card that you sent. Olley.

    Yes Olley, it is one of the postcards that I sent out for round one! I think the bear is usually somewhere on the golden book...I'll have to have a close look at another book to find out! It is indeed a beautiful small work of art by Janelle.
